Looks great and absolutely on par with international standards. Having got used to seeing the worst maintained Delhi International airport, Chennai's Terminal gives me a great feeling. The visitors lounge is not cardoned off somewhere far from the passengers checkin counters. Passengers and visitors can stay in decent communication even after checkin. ( not like in Delhi, where you frantically wave through the glass windows, to your relative/friend standing nearly a kilometer away inside the passneger lounge. And every area is clearly marked. No confusion - despite peaktime crowd. And what's more, an exclusive toilet for disabled - with sliding doors. - but the lift to the viewers gallery is not working :-) btw, why am I increasingly looking for disabled friendly features? sign of my aging? oh, no ! :-)
